The Queen's Birthday

The Birthday Girl
Man I'm old!
Today is a national holiday here in Australia. It is "The Queen's Birthday". Since Australia is still technically part of the British Empire, they officially fall under the jurisdiction of the British Monarchy, and Queen Elizabeth is their official queen. That is why her mug is on all the money.

Since she never sent me a card for my birthday, I snubbed her and did not send one to her. However, I have heard a rumor that if you reach the ripe old age of 100, she will send you a birthday card. (One of those raunchy ones I hope!).

BTW... did you know that the royal family has their own web site? No word if the queen has her own rantings blog like me.
